566. Ultimatum

After the establishment of Fearlessness, the number of ships expanded rapidly in a very short time.

The most important factor among them is capital. Yes, when state capital and private capital form a joint effort to do something, the power formed is huge.

Although the Dutch royal family does not occupy a large share of capital, or only less than 10%, its guiding role is huge, driving and attracting a large number of enthusiastic investments in private capital.

The long-term naval exhibition plan I submitted to William has also been recognized and approved, especially in the short-term purchase of services, including William and relevant ministers, who have expressed great interest in the Dutch senior management.

The only thing they are worried about is whether there will be any fleets that meet the requirements in the short term, and that the corresponding size can provide them with corresponding force support and services.

It was almost seamless, and Wuwei appeared in front of them at this time, which was just a hit and combined with Youxi's good role between the two sides, the negotiations were even more smooth and indescribable.

It can be said that our trip to the Netherlands was quite smooth and perfect. Although we did not receive the military support from the Dutch royal family, we had a better way than military support.

Policy support.

In just over a month, all shipyards in Amsterdam, including Rotterdam, Bruges and Antwerp, were launching warships with all their might.

Although it is mainly medium-sized warships, its number is extremely objective. After it is formed, it is enough to match the naval power of some small countries.

Such a big news will naturally attract the attention of all parties, especially the surrounding naval countries, who are trying every means to find out who is the sacred ones that will build warships on such a large scale.

Later I learned that these warships belonged to a Dutch chamber of commerce, named Phillis, or the Fearless Chamber of Commerce.

A new force?

Many people are underestimating in their hearts. How can there be so many accidents in this world? How can people who can explode such a large fleet in a short time be named?

Especially Elizabeth I, her attention to the Netherlands has even surpassed the sum of other countries, including Spain!

Such a big noise naturally made her feel like she was in her throat and asked three questions a day.

Later, I don’t know what channels I learned that the relationship between the Far East woman Zhang Youxi of the Far East of the Dutch East India Company was mysterious. Who is Zhang Youxi?

It’s Sun Qilan’s relative!

Elizabeth had already found out about this. How could she miss such important information?

So with the blessing of the ancestral blackness, Elizabeth I quickly guessed the eight-and-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-

In addition to the Navy Planning and the issue of purchasing services.

But she could hide this for a while, but after all, she would still know, but by then, everything had already settled. Is it important to be happy or not?

In other words, what we fought this time was actually a time difference. As long as we took advantage of Elizabeth I's not yet recovering from his senses, even if she really turned against each other, what would we do?

The wood has been completed and the rice has become a cook. No matter how strong Elizabeth is in his life, he can't do anything against the will of heaven.

But things seemed not as smooth as I thought - in just a few days around the Spring Festival, Elizabeth sent someone to find me and gave me a harsh ultimatum!

The general meaning is just one sentence - if I had not appeared in the Palace of Westminster in London within fifteen days, even if I had been a blatant betrayal of the British Empire, from then on, I would have been treated hostilely by all British fleets, roughly the same as the Spanish fleet!

Well, it seems that the old woman is really anxious! Although I don’t take her will seriously, I don’t want to break up with her in a short period of time, so I must go to London as soon as possible to meet this angry Queen of England!

Of course, I wouldn't just go so stupidly. Before going, I must have made detailed preparations in all aspects.

As for what preparations are, she will naturally know when things come to an end.

So, after arranging all aspects of affairs, I took Huamei to the English Channel as soon as possible.

This section of the road is actually not far, but after spring, all kinds of fish come back to lay eggs and reproduce. How can you not take this opportunity to experience the charm of the sea?

So we rush to the sea again, and we didn't have to hurry to rush. We continued until the last afternoon of Elizabeth I's ultimatum time limit, and my fleet arrived late and sent a port to the port in London.

Just as I climbed the London Pier, Jack Bravo, who was already the Minister of Military Affairs, had already had his head white when he was waiting at the Pier. When I saw me, I almost cried with joy!

His old legs and feet were so agile for some reason. He rushed to me with one step, pulled my sleeve and shouted: "Sun Qilan! Why are you here? The Queen is ready to sign a pursuit order!"

After hearing this, I stood there and said a long "Oh" sound, turned my head and walked back.

Jack Bravo was a little stunned. What happened? Why did he come and leave?

After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong. If I let me, a guy who was so angry, would be so stupid that the queen would really do something in anger this time!

"Sun Qilan! Where are you going?" Jack Bravo asked me screamingly, "The Queen is urging you, didn't I say it?"

I stood up and looked at Jack Bravo with disdain, saying disdainfully: "What? Didn't you say Elizabeth is going to issue a pursuit order? Am I still running to fall into the trap? If you don't run away at this time, do you really think I'm stupid?"

Jack Bravo was so angry that he almost didn't breathe after being held back by this sentence. After he took a while, he gasped and said to me: "You are really going to piss me off! The queen is already very angry. If you don't admit your mistake, where are you going?"

I was afraid to sneer and sneer: "Why, do you really think I am stupid? If you don't run away at this time, do you save your life and wait for the New Year?"

With one sentence, the old man almost didn't feel angry. But after thinking about it, it was really impossible to cure. He could only sigh and grabbed my sleeve: "I said Qilan, don't make trouble again, if there is any trouble again, something really happened! Isn't it okay if I beg you?"

Seeing that the old man had reached this point, I couldn't bear to tease him anymore, so I patted his arm gently and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't leave. Brother, tell me the truth, what's going on with the queen?"

Jack Bravo shook his head and sighed again: "Qi Lan, you're really having a big time this time! To be honest, have you been helping Henry build the navy?"

I nodded, thorning my neck and said in a calm tone: "Yes! I won't say secret words, I'll do this!"

The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, and then asked again: "What kind of Dutch fearless fleet has anything to do with you?"

I nodded again and replied, "Ah! I did it, planned, designed, and built it, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? You actually asked me what's wrong?" Jack Bravo shook his hands in anger: "You actually asked me what's wrong? Don't you know the Queen's reaction after hearing these news?"

I smiled and curled my lips and said, "I know! She is very angry, so what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Jack Bravo was not angry or anxious. He finally understood that I had a account of all the consequences, but I was not afraid of the consequences at all. But how could this happen? Isn’t Sun Qilan in front of me the most concerned about the overall situation and the overall situation?

I saw him stunned and felt that it was necessary to talk to him first, so I pulled him to the side of the road, found a secluded corner to stand still, and said to him calmly: "Brother, I know what you said, and I know what the consequences will be, but I still did it. Do you know why?"

After hearing what I said, Jack Bravo became even more strange: "Why? Is it that your intention to be an enemy of the Queen?"

I patted Jack Bravo on the shoulder, shook my head and said, "You are wrong, man, it's not that I want to be an enemy of the Queen, but that the Queen doesn't take me seriously at all!"

Jack Braver's face turned red and his eyes dodged, "You're thinking too much, Qilan, the Queen is not sorry for you!"

I snorted, looked into his eyes and said, "Don't tell me you don't know, I just need you to explain something to me."

Jack Bravo immediately began to dodge: "Oh! If you have anything, just talk to the queen. Don't ask me! Don't ask me!"

But I refused to let go, and grabbed his sleeve tightly and asked, "What? You don't even have the courage to face me?"

Jack Bravo stared at me deeply, shook his head and said softly: "You still have to understand Her Majesty the Queen, after all, she is just a woman."

I let go of the hand holding his sleeve and snorted, "Woman? What's wrong with a woman? She is not my woman. Why can she decide my affairs based on her own affairs? Why can she infringe on my interests like this?"

Jack Bravo remained silent. He knew that what I said was reasonable, but from his side, as the British Secretary of Military Affairs, he had the obligation to protect his queen, so he could only remain silent.

"Qi Lan, the queen really has her own difficulties in this matter. After all, she has paid too much for this country. If the fruits are stolen by others, I believe you will be angry and take action if you change it."

I nodded: "Yes, I naturally cannot sit idly by and watch my interests suffer losses. I will also take one way or another to protect my rights. But please note that I am the one who suffers the losses now. I understand Elizabeth, but I cannot allow myself to be injured. Do you understand what I mean?"

Jack Bravo sighed: "Of course I understand! Forget it, don't talk about this, go see the queen quickly, I guess she will give you an explanation."
